Man's body found in Freehold Township pond

Police are investigating the death of man whose body was found this evening in a retention pond of a development in Freehold Township, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

A man walking with his family spotted the body in the pond on Kozlowski Road around 6:30 p.m., said Pete Warshaw, first assistant prosecutor.

He said police are trying to obtain a positive identification on the man, who appears to have been in the pond at the Poet's Corner housing development for several days. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.
